内容简介

《冷血》（英文：In Cold Blood）是美国作家楚门·卡波特于1966出版的小说，详述1959年一起位于堪萨斯州霍尔库姆，优渥农人赫伯特·克拉特一家遭灭门的残暴凶杀案。卡波特获悉此事后，与好友作家哈波·李决定一同前往当地进行调查。他们访问了当地居民与该案的调查人员，摘记了上千页的纪录。凶手狄克与贝利在犯案后不久被逮捕，卡波特随后耗尽六年心血著成此书。《冷血》被公认是非虚构小说鼻祖及新新闻主义先驱，同时也成了卡波特的经典代表作之一。

Controversial and compelling, In Cold Blood reconstructs the murder in 1959 of a Kansas farmer, his wife and both their children. Truman Capote's comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible yet entirely and frighteningly human.

The book that made Capote's name, In Cold Blood is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative.

作者简介

杜鲁门?卡波特是美国文学史上著名的南方文学作家，出生于路易西安那州，成长于阿拉巴马州，与另一名同样来自南方的作家田纳西?威廉姆斯（Tennessee Williams）齐名。卡波特九岁搬至纽约市，从小在文学方面就崭露头角。他记忆力极佳，年纪很小就能写出超龄的文章。不但常在校刊发表作品，也揽获了不少作文比赛的首奖。十七岁从高中辍学，随后进入《纽约客》（New Yorker）打工，最终也成了《纽约客》的专栏作家。他最著名的作品之一为发表于1958年的《蒂凡尼早餐》（Breakfast at Tiffany's），这部小说于1961年被好莱坞改编成电影。
然而真正奠定卡波特文坛地位的作品则是发表于1966年的《冷血杀手》（In Cold Blood）一书。 卡波特是否真为非虚构小说的开山鼻祖，文坛争论许久，但可以肯定的是《冷血杀手》的写作手法与卡波特本身的文学才气影响了许多知名的后辈作家。如我们熟悉的村上春树就屡次推崇卡波特影响自己至深，《地下铁事件》一书里采用的报导文学手法很容易让人联想到《冷血杀手》。 1965年《冷血杀手》在纽约客上连载，1966年正式出版，从此盘踞了畅销排行首位长达一整年，售出了数百万册。隔年改编为同名电影，卡波特名利双收。
卡波特是一名同性恋者，热爱参加各式”上流社会”的聚会。他言辞风趣辛辣、妙语如珠，在纽约的名流派对圈是相当活跃的人物。然而他也有着重度酒瘾与药瘾，写出《冷血杀手》后几乎再没有像样的作品问世。也许糟糕的身体状况钳制了他的写作才华，晚年的荒淫纵欲与不知节制，使卡波特与许多曾才华洋溢到不可一世的艺术家一样，人生舞台结束得并不精彩。 1984年八月一晚卡波特因用药过度猝死于一名女性友人家里，享年五十九岁。

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1925 and was raised in various parts of the south, his family spending winters in New Orleans and summers in Alabama and New Georgia. By the age of fourteen he had already started writing short stories, some of which were published. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for the New Yorker which provided his first - and last - regular job. Following his spell with the New Yorker, Capote spent two years on a Louisiana farm where he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). He lived, at one time or another, in Greece, Italy, Africa and the West Indies, and travelled in Russia and the Orient. He is the author of many highly praised books, including A Tree of Night and Other Stories (1949), The Grass Harp (1951), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), In Cold Blood (1965), which immediately became the centre of a storm of controversy on its publication, Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published by Penguin. Truman Capote died in August 1984.

精彩书评

**"There's got to be something wrong with somebody who'd do a thing like that." This is Perry Edward Smith, talking about himself. "Deal me out, baby... I'm a normal." This is Richard Eugene Hickock, talking about himself. They're as sick a pair as Leopold and Loeb and together they killed a mother, a father, a pretty seventeen year old and her brother, none of whom they'd seen before, in cold blood. A couple of days before they had bought a 100 foot rope to garrote them - enough for ten people if necessary. This small pogrom took place in Holcomb, Kansas, a lonesome town on a flat, limitless landscape: a depot, a store, a cafe, two filling stations, 270 inhabitants. The natives refer to it as "out there." It occurred in 1959 and Capote has spent five years, almost all of the time which has since elapsed, in following up this crime which made no sense, had no motive, left few clues - Just a footprint and a remembered conversation. Capote's alternating dossier Shifts from the victims, the Clutter family, to the boy who had loved Nancy Clutter, and her best friend, to the neighbors, and to the recently paroled perpetrators: Perry, with a stunted child's legs and a changeling's face, and Dick, who had one squinting eye but a "smile that works." They had been cellmates at the Kansas State Penitentiary where another prisoner had told them about the Clutters - he'd hired out once on Mr. Clutter's farm and thought that Mr. Clutter was perhaps rich. And this is the lead which finally broke the case after Perry and Dick had drifted down to Mexico, back to the midwest, been seen in Kansas City, and were finally picked up in Las Vegas. The last, even more terrible chapters, deal with their confessions, the law man who wanted to see them hanged, back to back, the trial begun in 1960, the post-ponements of the execution, and finally the walk to "The Corner" and Perry's soft-spoken words - "It would be meaningless to apologize for what I did. Even inappropriate. But I do. I apologize."... It's a magnificent Job - this American tragedy - with the incomparable Capote touches throughout. There may never have been a perfect crime, but if there ever has been a perfect reconstruction of one, surely this must be it. (Kirkus Reviews)

　　他活着的33年（包括在狱中的六年）一直心怀梦想，从未放弃对尊严，对美的热爱。这听起来多么像个笑话，然而这正是生活的残酷，它如此矛盾，让人难以置信，却并不使人费解。
